Today’s reading
John 1
In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the
beginning with God.
3 All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and
the life was the light of men.
5 And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light.
9 That was the true
Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his
own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name:
13 Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness
of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me
is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness
have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen
God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he
hath declared him.
19 And this is the
record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not
the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he
saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give
an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 John answered
them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye
know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan , where
John was baptizing.
29 The next day John
seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom
I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before
me.
31 And I knew him
not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel
32 And John bare
record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon him.
33 And I knew him
not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon
whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he
which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and
bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 Again the next day
after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon
Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned,
and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him,
Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto
them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that
day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 One of the two
which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 He first findeth
his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is,
being interpreted, the Christ.
42 And he brought him
to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona:
thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 The day following
Jesus would go forth into Galilee , and findeth
Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida , the city of Andrew
45 Philip findeth
Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and
the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth
46 And Nathanael said
unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth
47 Jesus saw
Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom
is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith
unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that
Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered
and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel
50 Jesus answered and
said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree,
believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto
him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 2
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee ; and
the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was
called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith
unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set
there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews,
containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto
them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto
them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of
the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was:
(but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called
the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto
him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have
well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until
now.
11 This beginning of
miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee , and
manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went
down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and
they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews'
passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep
and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house an
house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The
zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign
shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and
said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple
in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of
the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he
was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto
them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in
Jerusalem
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he
knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he
knew what was in man.
John 3
There was a man of
the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to
Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come
from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with
him.
3 Jesus answered and
said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom
of God
4 Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God
6 That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I
said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence
it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things
be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel , and
knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath
ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man
which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted
up:
15 That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved
the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
18 He that believeth
on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that
doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should
be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things
came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim,
because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's
disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he
that was with thee beyond Jordan ,
to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except
it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear
me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase,
but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh
from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of
the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath
seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath
received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God
hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him.
35 The Father loveth
the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth
on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not
see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 4
When therefore the
Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more
disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus
himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and
departed again into Galilee .
4 And he must needs
go through Samaria
5 Then cometh he to a
city of Samaria
6 Now Jacob's well
was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the
well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a
woman of Samaria
8 (For his disciples
were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the
woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou,
being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria
10 Jesus answered and
said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to
thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have
given thee living water.
11 The woman saith
unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from
whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater
than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and
his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and
said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water
that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into
everlasting life.
15 The woman saith
unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to
draw.
16 Jesus saith unto
her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered
and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have
no husband:
18 For thou hast had
five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst
thou truly.
19 The woman saith
unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers
worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem
21 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem
22 Ye worship ye know
not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith
unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come,
he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto
her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came
his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said,
What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then
left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man,
which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out
of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while
his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto
them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the
disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto
them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There
are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up
your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that
reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he
that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that
saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap
that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into
their labours.
39 And many of the
Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which
testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the
Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them:
and he abode there two days.
41 And many more
believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the
woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him
ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee .
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no
honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans
received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem
46 So Jesus came
again into Cana of Galilee , where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum
47 When he heard that
Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him
that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus
unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith
unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto
him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now
going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he
of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at
the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew
that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth:
and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the
second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee .
John 5
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up
to Jerusalem
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in
the Hebrew tongue Bethesda
3 In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the
moving of the water.
4 For an angel went
down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then
first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever
disease he had.
5 And a certain man
was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him
lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him,
Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man
answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into
the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto
him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the
man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was
the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee
to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said
unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto
thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus
findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin
no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed,
and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to
slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered
them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews
sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making
himself equal with God.
19 Then answered
Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do
nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he
doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father
loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew
him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father
raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he
will.
22 For the Father
judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men
should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not
the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the
voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father
hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at
this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear his voice,
29 And shall come
forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that
have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own
self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek
not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John,
and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not
testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning
and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater
witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to
finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent
me.
37 And the Father
himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard
his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not
his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which
testify of me.
40 And ye will not
come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not
honour from men.
42 But I know you,
that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my
Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive.
44 How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that
cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there
is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for
he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe
my words?
John 6
After these things
Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias
2 And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that
were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up
into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a
feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then
lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto
Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to
prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered
him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one
of them may take a little.
8 One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad
here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they
among so many?
10 And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat
down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the
loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as
they would.
12 When they were
filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they
gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the
five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men,
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that
prophet that should come into the world.
15 When Jesus
therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was
now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a
ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum
18 And the sea arose
by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had
rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the
sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto
them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they
willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land
whither they went.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the
other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one
whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his
disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto
the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum , seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea,
they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered
them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the
meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they
unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and
said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath
sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is
written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from
heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of
God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread.
35 And Jesus said
unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto
you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the
Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.
38 For I came down
from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the
Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the
will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on
him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the
bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from
heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent
me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all
taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is
of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead.
50 This is the bread
which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living
bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live
for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no
life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the
last day.
55 For my flesh is
meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living
Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he
shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall
live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum .
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at
it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where
he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can
come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and
are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and
one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas
Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of
the twelve.
